We are honored to be an officially licensed supplier for Knights of Columbus rosaries. These are WWI Battle Bead versions handmade daily in the Rugged Rosaries workshop. 

The WWI Battle Beads are a historical design inspired by the pull-chain combat rosaries handed out to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces during WWI. Our thoughtful reproduction of the original vintage rosaries is a close duplication with the addition of the emblem of the Knights of Columbus. You can carry it proudly as your Spiritual Weapon!

These rosaries are quite strong, do not tangle, are small and portable, and very easy to carry in your pocket. The Rugged Rosaries' WWI design has slightly larger Our Father beads to aid your meditative prayer. You can feel where you are on the rosary without looking at it. This chain is non-rust, non-corrosive, and non-magnetic. 

Please see the reviews below for our WWI Battle Beads... You will LOVE this rosary.

A portion of all Knights of Columbus sales goes directly to the Knights of Columbus Warriors to Lourdes program. We also donate these rosaries for that same program every year.

Grandson's gift

My Navy midshipmen grandson just converted to Catholicism and he was thrilled with this rosary. Such meaning and appreciated the rugged and sturdy composition.

Built to Last

Long story short, I started praying the rosary regularly during my work breaks using the one I received at my confirmation. Unfortunately, it wasn’t built to last and eventually broke. That’s when I decided to try this one—and to my surprise, it truly lives up to its name. It’s a Rugged Rosary in every sense.

I love the solid weight, the beautiful color, and especially the significance behind the design. It feels meaningful and built to last. Thank you for making something both durable and deeply spiritual.

My son loved the rosary, Thank you for a quality product.

Always the best.

I’ve been buying these rosaries and getting them blessed . They are my favorite gift to pass to those in need. What better gift when someone is in need of prayers to pass your rosary to them after you’ve prayed with them in your hands. I appreciate you all! Pax Tibi

Perfect for the Road

I’m a police officer where I live. I bought the gunmetal Momento Mori rosary and tactical pouch. It is the best combo I’ve ever purchased and fits well with the vest I wear. Pouch has a hoops velcro patch so you can add whatever morale patch you’d like. I opted for a Jerusalem Cross.

My parish priest was also impressed with the arsthetic and quality of the rosary itself.

Prayer on duty has never been better!

Gave minor request to change crucifix

In my order request I specified to change the crucifix to the San Damiano... but the crucifix was the same as the one photographed. I gave this as a gift, and the person received it loves it despite not getting the San Damiano. So I give 4 out of 5. I love Rugged Rosary and continue to be a faithful customer... despite a simple request... they make the best rosaries and all the crucifixes are beautiful. Will never give anything lower than a 4.
